December 12, 2022 Set Deadline: Show Cause Response due by 12/23/2022. (Bozek, M.)
December 12, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. Plaintiff has removed this housing action from state court. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide that, if the Court determines at any time that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, it must dismiss the action. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3). In order for this Court to exercise subject matter jurisdiction, either (1) the plaintiff must set forth a colorable claim arising under the U.S. Constitution or a federal statute, thus invoking this Court's federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1331; or (2) there must be complete diversity of citizenship between the plaintiff and the defendant and the amount in controversy must exceed $75,000 under 28 U.S.C. 1332. See DaSilva v. Kinsho Int'l Corp., 229 F.3d 358, 363 (2d Cir. 2000) (identifying the two categories of subject matter jurisdiction). Additionally, if an action is otherwise removable only on the basis of diversity jurisdiction under 1332, it may not be removed if a defendant is a citizen of the state in which the action was brought. 28 U.S.C. 1441(b)(2). Here, the action is for summary process and eviction and thus does not appear to present any federal claims. Indeed, wrongful eviction claims are generally matters of state law, not federal law. See Allied Manor Rd. LLC v. Berrios, No. 17CV2277WKFRML, 2017 WL 5558650, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Apr. 20, 2017) ("Wrongful eviction claims, whether for a temporary or final eviction, are state law claims over which this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction."). Moreover, if the basis for the removal is diversity jurisdiction, the case cannot be removed because Defendant is a citizen of Connecticut, where the action was initially brought. See U.S. Bank, N.A. as Trustee for Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I Trust 2006-AC1, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-AC1 v. Profeta, No. 3:18-cv-1710 (CSH), 2019 WL 2185725, at *5 (D. Conn. Mar. 26, 2019) ("Put simply, if any defendant is a citizen of Connecticut, the action may not be removed to the District of Connecticut."). Accordingly, by December 23, 2022, Plaintiff shall show cause why the Court should not remand this case to state court. Signed by Judge Sarala V. Nagala on 12/12/2022. (Rennie, Carolyn)
